I blame Jenny Granholm.

Don’t look at me, you let her in.

Volcanoes? In the Imperial Valley? At the south end of the Salton Sea, southwest of Mullet Island, are five small volcanic domes. They are oriented along a northeast trend, or perpendicular to the trace of the San Andreas fault system. The domes rise 100 to 150 feet above the valley floor, and collectively are known as Obsidian Butte. They are extruded into the Quaternary alluvium and are thought to be fewer than 20,000 years old.

I felt a little shaking in San Diego at about 12:30 pm.

Hurricanes, earthquakes, drought, west nile. The Lord is not happy! Loud wake-up calls.

Prayers up for all in the affected areas.

This does seem a bit unusual...

I’ve been following this for 4 hours. Over 30+ quakes >2.5 in the last 4 hours. The USGS is just generating “computer messages”. The site is reporting ALL of these quakes, including at least two of 5.4 and 5.3, have “NOT been reviewed by a seismologist”. Why not? Playing golf?

Don’t worry about it, it’s just the Obsidian Buttes magmapool takin’ a little walk.

What does an Italian car company have to do with earthquakes?/;D
